WELCOME
The IT Futures Group looks at how the University can use new technologies, and at new ways of using existing technologies.
We hold seminars and an annual conference and from these we gather together ideas and information. We then write reports and recommendations which are forwarded to the University IT Committee.
Check our Past Events pages to find recorded material and presentation slides from our previous events. In the Future Events page you may find information about our prospective seminars and the annual conference we hold in December.
Annual conference Tuesday 13th December 2011 in the Informatics Forum - 10:00-16:00.
